Clinician visit with oncologist review

It begins with a conversation. A General Medicine clinician who already knows your history gives you room to talk through your situation, your results, and your questions, then consults an oncologist from our network and comes back with guidance. Instead of waiting weeks, you have a sense of direction in days — and support while you wait for in-person care.

No — you meet with your General Medicine clinician, who consults an oncologist for you. When you're facing uncertainty, that matters: you're heard in days rather than waiting weeks alone, by someone who already knows your story. They also pull together what comes next: your records, testing, a referral, or a second opinion, so you're not coordinating it yourself.

You don't need to have that figured out before you book. Your General Medicine clinician reviews your symptoms and history first, and that's exactly what tells them whether oncology is the right fit — or whether a different specialist or a different kind of care would serve you better. If it's the latter, they'll point you there instead of moving forward with a review that isn't the right match, so you don't waste a visit going down the wrong path.

Often, yes — it's a strong starting point for understanding a new diagnosis, making sense of test results, weighing treatment options, or getting a second opinion — much of which is conversation and review. Cancer treatment itself happens in person, and certain symptoms need urgent care. The review helps you understand where you are and what to ask, then connects you to in-person care, with your clinician staying involved throughout.

A cancer diagnosis itself requires in-person testing like biopsies, labs, or imaging — and your clinician will be upfront about that. What the review gives you is a specialist-informed read on your situation: help interpreting results, a clear view of your options, and a coordinated path to in-person care or a second opinion. Your clinician can also help arrange the testing needed to diagnose and stage the cancer. You'll leave with a real next step, and they'll stay with you as care moves forward.
